Whos So Scared lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Who s So Scared lyrics Once riding in old Baltimore, head filled, heart filled with glee I saw a Baltimorean keep looking straight at me Now i was eight and very small and he was no whit bigger and so i smiled but he poked out his tongue and called me a nigger I saw the whole of Baltimore from May until December Of all the things  that happened there that s all that I remember Who s so scared When I was fourteen I took a bus to San Francisco I was full of hope and joy till this girl called me a boy But I was already on my way so frightened to be gay Just like in 1942 (1492) the world screaming, "Something s wrong with you, Jew" Who s so scared But what I discover, Lover after lover There s nothing wrong with me That s just a lie by society So I start looking at the world we have And while it s not all bad, There s a lot of room for improvement People of color and the gay movement Who s so scared Won t you explain to me that pain of your life song lyrics
